Small update



Including three failed attempts at leaf springs

Settled with a design that works, a semi- elliptical 3piece leaf with Hotchkiss style rear mount, made from scratch of course!

------------
Y compris trois échecs aux ressorts à lames

Avec un design qui fonctionne, une feuille semi-elliptique 3 pièces avec monture arrière style Hotchkiss, fabriquée de toutes pièces!

 

Finished the rear suspension setup

Best view at 00.45+ seconds

This took much trial and error to be bind free and work in harmony! All made from scratch by myself using hand tools only,

-------------------

Terminé la configuration de la suspension arrière

Meilleure vue à 00.45 secondes

Cela a pris beaucoup d'essais et d'erreurs pour être libre et travailler en harmonie! Tout est fait à partir de rien par moi-même en utilisant des outils à main seulement,

 

Here's the first test run of the 1: 6 crawler build!

As it was for the kids, Evie (7) did the test driving for me



Will put up more videos up when I can



The final build update video (part 5)

 

Hello

On frozen ground

PART 1



Part 2




Which do you prefer? 1 or 2 ?

Merci

 

Did some trailing in the woods near my village

 

Took Ewan out for a bash

Both cars had a semi flat battery by the time we had finished, but we had just enough to get a nice tug of war going

Video came out really well, quite pleased with it.

Highlights at 0:30, 1:23 and 2:10

Thanks for watching!!

Pris Ewan dehors pour un bash

Les deux voitures avaient une batterie semi-plate au moment où nous avions fini, mais nous avions juste assez pour faire un beau tir de guerre

La vidéo est vraiment très bien sortie, très satisfaite.

Faits saillants à 0:30, 1:23 et 2:10

Merci d'avoir regardé!!
